Abstract

Increased protein ration resulted in a linear increase in protein synthesis and protein degradation in cod; for each gram of protein eaten per fish per day, 1 g of protein was synthesised and 0.36 g of that protein was retained as growth. As ration level increased, the efficiency of the retention of synthesised protein as growth increased. In starving animals there was a constant level of protein synthesis and a 60% recycling of protein breakdown products.
